Why I Cant Leave

C C F G C You never did care too much for this two lane town, did you babe? Am You've been talking 'bout getting out, chasing them dreams down since 7th grade F And I can't blame you G For the way God made you C You need more skyline in a water tower with your name on it Am And I need more Chevrolet with a little bit of red dirt clay on it F And that's just you and that's just me G That's just the way it's gotta be C Yeah the Main Street's slow like them old tractor tires Am Little rough around the edges like that rusty barbed wire F Baby I know that ain't your speed G That’s why you can't stay G That’s why I can't leave C You need more stations on your radio Am Them kind of places where the corn don't grow F Baby I love you but we both got dreams G That’s why you can't stay N.C. C That’s why I can't leave C We had a good run under that Southern sun, didn't we? Am And you can call me up and I fill you in if you're missing this town and me F I need a front porch view F But you need a balcony G And no matter what you know where I'll be C Where the Main Street's slow like them old tractor tires Am Little rough around the edges like that rusty barbed wire F Baby I know that ain't your speed G That’s why you can't stay G That’s why I can't leave C You need more stations on your radio Am Them kind of places where the corn don't grow F Baby I love you but we both got dreams G That’s why you can't stay G C That’s why I can't leave C Am Oh oh oh F G Yeah that's why I can't leave C Yeah the Main Street's slow like them old tractor tires Am Little rough around the edges like that rusty barbed wire F Baby I know that ain't your speed G That’s why your dad is out there loading up your Jeep C Yeah them Friday night lights ain't your kinda shine Am Wish I could but I can't say that ain't mine F Little town like this, what you get is what you see G That's why you can't stay N.C. That's why I can't leave C Am F C No I can't leave
